Silver Strand Fall in Yosemite Valley's west end, above Tunnel View
One of the famous viewpoints in the world is the Tunnel View in Yosemite National Park. If you're at this view point earlier in the year, spring and early summer, you should also make a point of turning to your right (south) and looking for this waterfall, Silver Strand Fall. It drops about 574 feet (175 m), according to the wikipedia entry, though the topographic map shows it as 400 ft (123m). The creek flows under the road farther downhill and eventually joins the Merced River. Since it's fed by melting snow, it's usually gone by midsummer, but this year, 2019, was an especially wet year in California, so it was still flowing well in mid-June, when this picture was taken.
It's easy for people to get caught up in looking at the Valley, but with a little extra looking around, you can find this gem.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!
